I do like the Geolanders I’ve had on the e53 for several seasons now. A decent compromise between crap conditions and highway driving manners. They are pretty quiet on asphalt, especially at highway speeds, other than on concrete. Several concrete streets and avenues around my city and they howl somewhat on these.
I will say they do really well on the winter farm roads I get on when hunting the Midwest. To be fair though, the LSD upgrade is probably mostly responsible for the better behavior in actual mud and snow.
I recently read several good reviews of a new/Updated AT tire from Continental (the Terrain Contact). I don’t need new tires yet, but am going to consider them when I do. I really like the Continental Extreme Contact Sport 02s I put on my M3 and I think Continental is upping their game finally.
